I wish I could observe when you're painting. Your understanding of lights, layout ability and daring expression are outstanding.

Hello Hoony,
Thanks for your generous remarks. This is based on one of my photos of Marrakech. I make no great claims about working this way - painting in photoshop is a lot easier than working in 'real' pigments - other than to say that it gives me huge pleasure and that the 'painting' is probably more interesting than the photograph. Perhaps because the painted image transmits my pleasure-in-the moment.
I am an indifferent draughtsman and I don't have your knowledge of the human figure. I try to SEE the pure abstract composition and work to that. I don't 'trace' over the photo or paint on top of it... It never works.

Thanks for the minute and interesting explaining about your works, Neil. You're very kind. I've gotten inspiration a lot by seeing your stuff. Thank you again.

You're the best 'indifferent draughtsman' out there. Bises-
